The Mercedes exceeds the Lexus in quality in all criteria. The Mercedes adaptive cruise is so much better than the Lexus. The Lexus is so slow to react. The brakes on the Lexus were super sensitive. So far this car is heaven. Ask me in a year if I still think so It has been a year and the S550 still impresses me. Having the cameras in front of the wheels and with the suspension continuously adjusting itself for any road irregularities is impressive. Passenger comfort is exceptional as 6'4" sized people are comfortable in front or back. This particular model has the backseat option of reclining seats, a great and comfortable option. The two critical elements are the poor gas mileage and the fact that both rear seatbelts froze. The seatbelts were covered by a lifetime warranty so no cost there. Mercedes service is pricey but your vehicle is kept in new car condition. I love this car, especially on long road trips.

If you are all about comfort, this is your car. Difficult to find another choice in that price range with such a plethora of technology and comfort. Precisely, this is what may become a little overwhelming for some people. Having said that, do not expect this car to be "perfect". It is not. It has a lot of issues with software that may force you to get the car to the dealership for upgrades, but once the car is updated, it runs like no other. Tire wear is considerable with the factory installed Pirelli Flat Run. Ridiculous to be honest! At 5 thousand miles, dealership already suggested to replace front tires. Be prepared to spend in premium tires at least once every other year, sometimes less, depending on the brand and your driving habits. The dynamic cruise control (Distronic) feature is amazing, same the self-driving (under 30 mph) capability. Full isolation in its cabin, smooth ride, unparalleled audio quality, amazing response... and a price tag above 100K. But, hey, worthy in every penny.

S Class at 72,000 Miles and going strong

I have to admit that now I’ve just hit 72,000 I’m wondering if I should take it to 100k with the hopes that I won’t have to tap into my retirement to keep it going from costly repairs. I’ve read the reviews here but no one is saying they have a 2015 with this kind of mileage. For $100k+ you would think that I should be able to do it and not break the bank in repairs. Anyone have something to add that has had their ‘15 + year car I would love to hear about your experiences.
Second S Class - 4th MBZ

I think that MBZ put too many bells and whistles on this car. I am paranoid about having any kind of a fender bender as the electronics will surely be messed up. I had to have new breaks and rotors put on at less than 19,000 miles. The climate control makes a weird noise sometimes (noise comes from engine) and per the dealership it is normal. Car is built to be quiet and then there is a weird alien sound. Voice control has improved but still not perfect. Sadly Siri works better in responding to text messages, etc. Massage on the seats is silly, along with the embracing seats. I have never used the "perfume" dispenser.
Excellent car

Impressive car to say the least . All the bells and whistles you would expect from the flagship car of Mercedes . It drives like a dream . Im still getting used to all the devises in the car . The dream was a nightmare at first , but my salesman went through everything with me . Im still not 100 percent with knowing all of them , but I'm getting there . The Distronics feature is great . Put it in Cruise and it drives itself . The car slows down when your getting to close to a car on it's own . Now I know why they say the car goes through brakes . I love the run flats . There stable on the road and like the name says - They run flat meaning they will get you home or to a service station , but they wear out faster and the ride is not as good as regular tires . Ill stick with the run flats . They told me to stay away from curbs . The AMG rims that are on the car are more sensitive to curbs than other rims . I love the way the seat flaps hugs you when you turn left or right to keep you steady and comfortable . What else can I tell you ? The car is fast . Take it from someone who also owns a 2007 Corvette Zo6 . The handling of this over two and a half ton car is very impressive . Especially in sport mode . You know you are in something special when you get in the car and even more special when you drive it .
